The mighty Dacotah, Capt. Geo. G. Keith,
leaves st. Louis at ) p. m, to-day for Kansas

Al. johnson will soon be in his new quar-
tiers. the old Mo. Pacific city Office. Every
thing will be first class and bran new; a
cigar stand and barber shop second to none
and equal to any west of the Mississippi
river. AL. never does anything by halves.
st. Joseph. Leavenworth City. Nebraska
City, Omaha, Carthage, Fort Scott and
Wichita, are all booming. Lexington is not
asleep by a long shot. She will wake you up
one of these fine mornings with such IN
eruption as only Vesuvius can belch forth.
The prospect now is that more houses will
be built IN Lexington this year than for many
years before. and eligible building lois, not
too far from the business center, are in de-
mand, and our architects and builders are
busy drawing plans and furnishing specific
cations.
A policeman was seen at the Baptist
church, Wednesday night, looking after a LOT
of young men who do not conduct themselves
as they should in the house of God. He has
their names and any more bad conduct on
their part will cause such action as will tone
them down.
"Wha is | guine TO sleep tonight" was a
question asked a policeman on the street
last Tuesday night, by John Simmons, the
negro man whom all our citizens think
should be removed to the po%OrhOuse. 1t
is a shame and a disgrace to let him 90 Mt
large.

Dover, from which point they will drive the
grade pegs As far as Lexington and work will

Some people in every town always express
themselves as ANXIOUS to see the place pros
per, and when called upon TO assist therein
express great interest in and determination
to accomplish that result-but before the en-
terpri-e then In hand is pushed to successful
completion it should be preceded by some
thing else which they think of the utmost
Importance. If that is done they will then
be ready to take hold land do as much as
anybody else" The result is, they never as
sist in anything. Don't listen to these crOak-
ers. but go ahead without them, or you will
always be waiting aud wanting, for they will
never ne pulie realty 10 dSSlSt you.
